Crystal smiled at the woman lightly. She was glad to help, but watched as she ran outside to throw up the medicine she had given her. Crystal's eyes dimmed sadly and turned back. Another cough racked her body. There was only a small amount of blood that didn't expell out of her mouth. She swallowed and unconsciously made a face. She picked up her cup and drank to get the metallic taste out of her mouth.
"Please tell the woman that I helped who I am when she gets back," Crystal said to Hama as she put her head in her hand. The dizziness had come back now and she felt as if she would fall off the tall stool that she was perched upon. Her breathing became eradiact and she tried to even it. It was becoming harder to breath. She prayed that she hadn't punctured her lung or had gotten a disease that was making her lungs bleed. She was convinced that the blood that was coming up was from inside her stomach from the alcohol that she had been drinking. She closed her eyes against the swirling world.
